This book was tough to read... it dragged on and on. It took me an entire month to finish it.... I enjoyed “Girl on the Train” because it loved so much faster with fewer characters.

I also found it very hard to believe that Lena’s entire personality flipped in one day. I also did not entirely understand Helen and Patrick’s relationship at the end.

It was ok but I probably won’t read another of her books.

3/5 This book was a little hard to get into at first because it is written in multiple POVs. but one i got going it was a good read. I thought I had guessed the twist a couple of times and then the ending surprised me completely.

A bit of a slow beginning but by the middle I was hooked. Twists until the very last page. Truly enjoyed the characters, particularly Lena as she’s a sassy bitch that murked a grown ass man!!!
